You can always turn off SMS notifications in the future by unchecking that box.

If you change cell phone providers you will need to undo this process and do it again from scratch to re-enable text message alerts.

There are over 95,000 DansDeals followers on Twitter, so be sure to take advantage of the best deals as soon as you get the alert!

Post will be made at all hours of the day through Cyber Monday, so be sure to set your phone to silent at night if you don’t want to be disturbed 😀

Is there a way to only be notified when certain deals are posted? For example, to only be notified when a deal containing “smoking hot” or “price mistake” are posted? Thanks!

You could try using the IFTTT app for that and set up a trigger and a response

Is there a option to get just a txt message when a deal is posted?

Twitter lets you do exactly that as described in the post. No need to login again after you set it up.

It does not seem to work if you only want SMS. You end up getting one notification from Twitter and another SMS of the same thing.

Dan, what’s with WhatsApp? I know it was transitioned into groups but when will you start sending deals on those groups?

Still working out the bugs and it will probably never be as fast as Twitter.
Twitter is a lot more reliable for now.

In my opinion it’s worth the effort. I love Dan’s deals, I hate SMS, and I don’t use Twitter. I signed up for the browser notifications, but it only shows the last update, earlier notifications disappear once a new one comes on. I signed up for a different (less favorable) deal site just to get the WhatsApp messages.

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

We’re working on it, but you don’t need to “use Twitter.”
Just follow the instructions above and you never need to login to Twitter again.

You can also use Telegram.

Not sure, did you try any of the options in this post?

Yes. Seems like they do not support Israel. I am hoping that perhaps someone has an idea?

Website notifications don’t stay on for me, last for a few hours or days, then they stop until press subscribe again. Any tips?

Step 3: Click here to go to the @DansDeals page. Click on the follow button and then click on the bell icon next to the follow button:

Do I need to click on the bell icon to receive SMS alerts? Because then I’m getting on my desktop twice each deal, from Twitter and from DansDeals it self, any idea?

IIRC if your phone number was associated with a twitter account before they changed the rules you can still get from that phone now. But if it wasn’t, you can’t.
